The Ministry of Interior of the Italian Social Republic (It: Ministero dell'Interno) is the key Ministry which has the responsibility for policing, emergency and rescue management, national security, religious affairs, regulation of relations with the Catholic Church and other allowed religions, administration of the fund for worship, supervision and co-ordination of local governments, institutions of public welfare and charity, public administration, the organization and superintendence of state archives, demographics, and immigration matters. The ministry is headed by the Minister of the Interior, currently Angelo Spaniccia.
The Ministry of Interior has a fundamental importance in the economy of public administration, as his powers as varied as important, that it can be defined as the principal instrument of power. The main services under the Ministry of the Interior are primarily those relating to the maintenance of public order and public security.

Central organization

The ministerial central organization is characterized by three levels of top hierarchy:

  • Senior management, consisting of the Minister, the Undersecretaries of State and of the Secretary General;
  • Functional management, consisting of Directorates General, governed by the Directors General, formed according to a grouping criterion based on the input;
  • Divisions, which are the operational macro-units.

Within the Ministry, communications between the Directorates-General are secondary to internal communications to individual Directorates, and there is no high environmental variability. The structure of the Ministry ensures that the Directors General assume sub-organizational objectives limited to their function, allowing senior management to see the organization as a whole and to ensure the smooth flow of processes.
The Ministry is therefore divided into 10 Directorates General, each of which is in turn a sum of central and peripheral offices:

  • Directorate General for the Civil Administration of the Interior
  • Directorate General for the Public Security
  • Directorate General for the Demography and Race
  • Directorate General for the General Affairs and Personnel
  • Directorate General for the Religious Affairs
  • Directorate General for the Fund for Worship
  • Directorate General for the Fire-fighting Services and Civil Protection
  • Directorate General for the Public assistance
  • Directorate General for the Welfare Activities
  • Directorate General for the State Archives

The office of the Secretary-General is conferred by decree of the Duce of the Republic, upon the proposal of the competent Minister. The incumbent Secretary-General of the Ministry of Interior is Prefect, 1st Class Benito Landolfini.
